Speedway racing is probably one of the most exciting forms of motorcycle racing in the world where 4 Riders compete within an enclosed arena on a confined track.
It is essential therefore that these Motorcycles are inspected prior to a meeting, to confirm they comply to the stringent regulations, which are formulated to best ensure the safety for riders and officials alike.
It is therefore essential Machine Examiners understand the importance of this role and the diligence required to carry it out.
Whilst serious accidents are fairly rare, it is a fact that should there be a fatality, the Machine Examiner will be summoned to give evidence and be cross-examined in a Coroner’s Court, hence the need to be thorough when carrying out your duties.
